My Trip

Our big overseas trip is getting closer (18 July) and I'm starting to get excited and a little nervous. I'm planning to take a journal with me to capture some of the things that we do and what does a new journal need? That's right - a new cover.

On the weekend I looked through my fabric to find something suitable and didn't get any further than Anni Downs' Love to Garden range. It's the same range that I used for my Fly Away project but this time I'm using the blue print. I'm also using a matching beige background print, a stripe (or two) and the beige cotton/linen stitchery fabric.

I'm planning to have a small stitchery design on both the front and back covers and will add some ric-rac braid and a twisted cord.

I managed to get the stitchery traced and started on the weekend and hope to have the whole thing finished by the end of the week.

Comments

What a great idea! Can't wait to see the finished product. Any chance that you'll stop in the U.S./California while overseas? That would be wonderful! Either way, I'm excited to read about your upcoming travel and crafting adventures!

In 2012 we did the quilt called I am... based on the I am statements Jesus made in the book of John. If you would like more information please email me.
